Why would you want to plug in the car? From 'online conversion"

1 gallon [U.S.] of automotive gasoline = 36.6 kilowatt hour

In southern CA we pay 24 cents / kWh which works out to $8.78 for the
equivalent of 1 gallon gas when I can get that for $2.85. Doesn't seen
like a good trade to me -- combined with taking hours to 'fill up'

And in Europe you can multiply the price of the US gas by 3.
So currently gas with 95 octan costs here about 1,38 EUR per Liter
(don't know how much gallon it does).

So electricity is not expensiver than gas (I think its cheaper) and cleaner.
